Five of Yale's top mental health scientists will discuss current research on a wide variety of topics — ranging from new treatments for bipolar disorder to the impact of exercise and medication on mood disorders and improving learning and memory skills — on Sunday, Sept. 14.
The Yale symposium will be held as part of the National Association for Research on Schizophrenia and Depression (NARSAD) "Healthy Minds Across Connecticut" effort, in which 48 free public forums will be held across the country. NARSAD is a leading mental health charity that has awarded $238 million in funding to more than 2,700 researchers and scientists worldwide.
Among the presenters will be Amy Arnsten, professor of neurobiology; Hilary Blumberg (who will also serve as moderator), associate professor of psychiatry, diagnostic radiology, Child Study Center and director of the Yale Mood Disorders Research Program; Ronald Duman, professor of psychiatry and pharmacology; Paul J. Lombroso, director of the laboratory of molecular neurobiology and the Elizabeth Mear and House Jameson Professor, Child Study Center; and Michael J. Crowley, associate director of the developmental electrophysiology laboratory at the Child Study Center.
The symposium will take place 1-5 p.m. in the auditorium of the Anylan Center, 300 Cedar St.
